Pro Tools.Direct toYour Bay.
Asset Tools cuts out the wholesaler and goes direct from manufacturer to your shop — the same high-quality tools, warranty support, and on-site service you expect, at a price that makes sense.
We Cut Out the Middleman
The old tool truck model passes costs through layers of wholesalers before tools ever reach your bay. We changed that.

Why We Left Matco: The Case for Independent Tool Trucks
After 6 years as a Matco distributor, Seth Kraus explains why going independent is better for techs — and how Asset Tools was born.

Veteran-Owned. Family-Built. Direct to Your Bay.
My name is Seth Kraus. Before I ever touched a tool truck, I served in the US Army. The military taught me that you show up, you do the job right, and you never let your team down. That's exactly how I run Asset Tools.
After six years as a Matco Tools distributor, working shop doors throughout the NC Triad, I saw the same problem every day: mechanics were paying too much because the tool industry stacks wholesaler on top of wholesaler before anything reaches your bay.
Asset Tools is my family's answer to that. We go direct — manufacturer to mechanic — the same way online and big box stores do, except we bring the store to you. Same quality. Same warranty. Real service. A price that makes sense.
This is a family business. My family is behind every route stop, every order, and every tool we stand behind. When you buy from Asset Tools, you're supporting a veteran family — not a franchise corporation.
